So many results in the pipeline

Albert Einstein’s constant collaborator and a wide array of results from the summer sales

Report by Ian McKay

Books and works on paper

An extraordinarily rich and varied crop of book sales have taken place this summer.

A few highlights from three of the London auctions, all of which will feature again on these pages, are noted here. However, much more was on offer and future issues will include reports focusing on various aspects of natural history, bindings, bibles and so on.

Sales of illuminated and other early manuscripts, including those sold in specialist auctions at Sotheby’s and Dreweatts/Bloomsbury, will also feature. A spread from one exceptional prayerbook in the New Bond Street sale is, however, featured this week.

A third selection of books from Pierre Bergé’s remarkable library, sold at his own saleroom in Paris on June 28, and a varied selection of material from other European and American summer sales are all included in the mix.

And future issues will, of course, feature unusual or exceptional lots drawn from sales held across the UK and Ireland.
